Or is it a little farm community where every body is related.  

. - growing up, my parents owned a body shop so I am very familiar with the Environmental issues automotive can have.  

That being said, the regulatory and expense burden of selling a house makes the area unattractive to many. 

Although the money would be great, I think travel nursing for me personally would be too taxing on the body (physically and mentally).

I think you may find that in high regulatory markets it can take a lot longer than 6 to 7 months to get to exit.   

I enjoy working on houses a lot too. when I have leave from the army I'm alway helping my body, general contractor on his projects. the feeling you get after the work is done is very rewording.

You don't want to buy these to find out the seller just put a warm body in the property to claim they are rented and performing.

When we read books or listen to podcasts we are engaging in a cognitive activity which engages our minds but doesn’t engage our bodies. 

Some investors don't need talent they just need a warm body to open the door so plowing through inadequate agent after agent is fine for them.

Failure to follow instructions (using a do not use vendor, allowing pets in a no pet rental, not enforcing lease violations)Failure to fill units aggressively with qualified tenants or filling units with warm bodies not vetted tenantsPet peeve: failure to communicate.
